Venezuelan security forces have wielded excessive force to suppress protests, killing dozens, and have arbitrarily detained 5,000 people since April, including 1,000 still in custody, the United Nations human rights office said on Tuesday.

Despite the strong arm tactics by the Maduro government, the opposition called for another nationwide protest Tuesday.

The Secretary-General and other top United Nations officials have been calling for calm in Venezuela since late July when, according to media reports, clashes erupted between security forces and protestors opposing the Constituent Assembly elections.

Venezuela's new constitutional assembly has passed a decree declaring itself superior to all other branches of government.

The Constituent Assembly is expected to announce new decisions to bring "justice" to the country during its session Tuesday.

The Trump administration is preparing sanctions against another group of Venezuelan officials linked to President Nicolas Maduro in response to his creation of a new legislative super body in defiance of world condemnation, U.S. officials said on Monday. "We are looking for ways to coexist".

The opposition to President Nicolas Maduro also faced another fight Wednesday before the government-stacked Supreme Court, which scheduled a hearing on charges against a Caracas-area opposition mayor.

In addition to ordering the immediate arrest of Ramon Muchacho of Chacao, a wealthy district that has been the epicenter of four months of protests, the court said he had been fired. Four months of street violence have left almost 130 dead.
